Here's How Sucker Punch Is Putting Troy Baker inside inFAMOUS: Second Son

Troy Baker is quickly becoming as ubiquitous as Nolan North. Not only has the actor already starred in The Last of Us and BioShock: Infinite this year, but he’s also set to adopt the role of the Joker in Batman: Arkham Origins and Delsin Rowe in inFAMOUS: Second Son. This brand new behind-the-scenes video deployed by Sucker Punch shows how the developer is using advanced motion capture techniques to record the actor’s performances in the latter.

“The team is really excited with the possibilities that this kind of advancement brings to the table with Second Son,” said technical director Spencer Alexander on the PlayStation Blog. “The truly exciting part of our complex facial and motion capture pipeline and all of the hard work that everyone is putting into the new technology is that at the end of the day, it’s the actor’s raw performance showing up on the screen.”

We’re expecting inFAMOUS: Second Son to play a huge role during Sony’s E3 press conference next week. Don’t be surprised if the game receives a lengthy on-stage gameplay demonstration, as well as a number of new trailers. As an open-world title, we suspect that this is going to really push the power of the next generation console. The cinematics definitely look ace already.
